The Color Communication Badges Are Returning!

Given the overwhelmingly positive response that we received last year, we’re so pleased to share Color Communications Badges again with all attendees at WordCamp Philly this year. We will distribute a sticker sheet to each person who asks for one -– and each sticker sheet will contain all three color communications badges.
